Everyone is doing awesome! Keep up the great work guys

I had my wi yesterday and was down again so 5 lbs total for my first week

My centre gave me a bunch of recipes so I'll have to post them in the recipe section. I've only tried the Potato Lasagna which was good.

Way to go Sunflower!! That is great. I go tomorrow morning.

Hey you know you only live about 40 minutes away from me, I am in Port Hope!!

When you post some recipes let me know!!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend, we are having our dinner tomorrow...looking forward to it, I have to tell you all, I am having EVERYTHING, just smaller portions. I am so looking forward to it.

GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!!!

Wow! Small world. My hubby actually works in Cobourg. I'll be sure to let you all know when I post the recipes. I will try to do it this weekend

I posted some recipes in the recipe thread and am going to post a couple more.

Hope everyone has a great Thanskgiving

Those sound yummy, one thing I have been craving since the cooler weather has come along is.....chile, yum yum

Where in Cobourg does the hubby work?

Not impressed with WI his morning.....I was up 2lbs.....I know it was because my water intake was bad this week...and I had a stressful week as well....not sleeping well etc....I did not eat anything I shouldn't so I know it was not from doing wrong, other then the water, but I was in the Tub room this week and I cannot get all my water in when I work this schedule, and when I was getting home I was lying down. This is going to be a better week for me, I don't weigh now until next Saturday morning.

Had our dinner tonight and I did have all I had planned, just approx 2tbsp of each thing, which was mashed taters, turnip, 2 different types of squash, cranberries, some cheese, 1 dinner roll, turkey, beets, I didn't have any stuffing, BUT I did have a small piece each of pumpkin and apple pie with whip cream....I know that may all sound bad, but I didn't want to deprive myself, the pie I ate...the 2 slices equaled about 1 piece. New day tomorrow....yes I will have leftovers, which will be the turkey and squash/turnip...

I am leaving my ticker as is for now until I weigh next Saturday...I am also keeping track here at home, if by Wednesday I am not back at 179, I will change it to what my scales say, they are exact with the ones at the center, I will only change it if they DON'T go down.

I hate that I went back over the 180 mark as I tried so hard to get under it, 181 really sucks, but I know come Saturday, it will be back to good!!

Hope all are having a great weekend!!

He works for Sleep Country at the distribution centre.

better life - Don't feel bad. We all have our bad weeks. I'm expecting next week to not be so hot with this weekend and AF should be making her arrival soon My centre told me that I could have a small sliver of pumpkin pie and to not feel guilty about it

Better life - you have been doing sooo awesome up to now. I think it's great you took a night off - I bet your body needed it. Some experts actually recommend an occasional free day as it can actually trick your body into releasing fat, because it thinks it's not in starvation mode. So after your 2lb gain week, maybe tonight is just what you need. Start again tomorrow and boom, I bet you drop tons this week - you'll be AWESOME!! Can hardly wait to see your results!

That said, I just finished an awesome dinner, with probably about 1000 too many calories, but that's okay - my body is definetly not in starvation mode now (ha ha) and tomorrow is a new day!!!

Thanks ladies...I know it'll be fine, it just sucks!!

I did forget to add yesterday that I seen 2 relatives that I haven't seen in quite sometime, I know my Aunt I haven't seen since the end of March, my Uncle, I cannot even remember...it was 2 separate meetings yesterday...my uncle told me I looked really good...and it felt great!! Later in the afternoon I went to an Epicure party and my Aunt was there and she said to me, Kim I have to tell you...you look fantastic, you really do. Made me feel so darned good....this aunt and uncle aren't married either so it isn't like he told her and she commented as well....WOO HOO!!!!!

This weekend coming up we have an out of town wedding....these relatives I haven't seen in well over a year and for my mom 8-10 months....it will be interesting to see the response from them....my mom bought a cute dress yesterday, something I would have never thought she would wear...like the dress I bought that I never imagined I would be wearing...so it is going to be interesting....I just hope Mom doesn't back out from wearing it!! She looks amazing in it, she said it is the initial walking in that scares her...**** I know exactly how she feels...because I am dealing with that anxiety myself!! But I can and will do it, and I hope she does too!!

I will share pics as well!!

When I went to WI yesterday we asked to have our pics updated, so I am looking forward to getting them, won't be until next Saturday. But I am excited to see them. Only thing I wished was that I was wearing what I did in the very first pic. Oh well...

Okay I think I have rambled enough...be back later to ramble on....LOL

BL

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! My dinner is tomorrow...can't wait!

Betterlife- I hate it when that happens. Don't you worry, you're going to show those 170's who boss soon enough! I have complete faith in you! I wish my center did before and after pictures. I never liked myself when I was bigger so I always steered clear of cameras, I want to make an album on facebook but I'm having a tough time finding some good before pictures.
Way to wow the pants off of your aunt and uncle!! You're doing a great job!

According to my scale at home, which is pretty accurate with HM, I am weighing in at 173.8. We'll see what it says after my dinner tomorrow!

Hope everyone had a good weekend and can top it off with a good wi tomorrow.

I know I am worried about my wi tomorrow. Good luck to all of you too!

Kim - that is awesome that people are starting to notice. I've only been on HM for just over a week and people have noticed It is so nice to hear "You look great!" I haven't told very many people I am doing HM and not that I want to hide it, but I want to see if people notice on there own

I am also a little worried about my weigh in tomorrow (a bit too many glasses of wine yesterday ) but, oh well. It was only one day.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
